Ex-Trump adviser RPCV Peter Navarro reports to prison on contempt of Congress conviction
Peter Navarro (Thailand 1965-68)
MIAMI — Former Donald Trump adviser Peter Navarro (Thailand 1965-68), who was convicted of contempt of Congress last year, is set to surrender Tuesday at a federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Miami to begin serving his four-month sentence.
Before turning himself in, Navarro held a press conference in a strip-mall parking lot down the street from the facility. Near a Papa John’s, Navarro gave an extended speech airing his grievances against the government and his prosecution, painting himself as a victim of political persecution.
“I will walk proudly in there to do my time,” Navarro said. “I will gather strength from this: Donald John Trump is the nominee.”
Navarro, who was closely involved in Trump’s attempts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating Jan. 6. He had been directed to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons by 2 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
p.s. The word is that at best he’ll be behind bars for 90 days.
Good lord. Did this man learn nothing from his Peace Corps service?
Apparently not, Jan. Geez.
Jane and Jan, I think you all have an excelllent subject for a topic. “What I learned from my Peace Corps Service” Thank you.
